<p>This plugin adds a <code>/my-apps/</code> route to your WordPress so that it can act as your personal apps launcher.</p>
<p>You can use your own WordPress as the place where you host apps in form of plugins. It can be hard to launch them since you have to navigate wp-admin. This adds a dashboard like an mobile phone launcher to your WordPress.</p>
<p>Plugin “Apps” can register their own icons but you can add your own links.</p>
<h3>Code Example</h3>
<pre><code>`php
</code></pre>
<p>add_filter( ‘my_apps_plugins’, function ( $apps ) {<br />
    // Add your app to the array. These three keys are mandatory:<br />
    $apps[‘friends’] = array(<br />
        // Name: The name that will be displayed.<br />
        ‘name’     => __( ‘Friends’, ‘friends’ ),<br />
        // The icon as a URL. You can also use a local URL inside a plugin, using <code>plugins_url()</code>.<br />
        ‘icon_url’ => ‘https://ps.w.org/friends/assets/icon-256×256.png’,<br />
        // The URL this should link to.<br />
        ‘url’      => home_url( ‘/friends/’ ),<br />
    );<br />
    return $apps;<br />
} );<br />
    `</p>

<p>With WP-Appbox you can add beautiful mobile app badges to your WordPress posts and pages simply by adding a shortcode. WP-Appbox supports the following app stores:</p>
<p>Apps & Software:<br />
* Amazon Apps (only via PA API 5.0)<br />
* Alexa Skills (only via PA API 5.0)<br />
* Apple App Store<br />
* F-Droid<br />
* Google Play Store<br />
* Microsoft Store<br />
* Snapcraft<br />
* WordPress-Plugins</p>
<p>Browser Extensions:<br />
* Chrome Web Store<br />
* Microsoft Edge-Add-ons<br />
* Firefox Add-ons<br />
* Opera Add-ons</p>
<h4>Usage of the shortcode</h4>
<p>All stores are integrated in a short code and can be inserted via button in the WordPress editor. The structure of the short code is always the following:</p>
<p>[appbox <em>storename</em> <em>app-id</em> <em>style</em>]</p>
<p>The order does not matter – as long as “appbox” is on the front. The blind names are: amazonapps, appstore, chromewebstore, fdroid, firefoxaddon, googleplay, operaaddons, steam, windowsstore and wordpress. How to get the ID of the corresponding apps is illustrated in the settings for WP-Appbox. The default format is “simple”, alternatively there is also an ad with “compact”, “screenshots” and “screenshots-only”.</p>
<p>There is another special feature for the App Store: With Universal Apps you can decide whether you want to get screenshots of the iPhone, iPad and the Watch App, or for example only of the iPhone, only of the iPad or only of the Watch App. All you need to do is simply attach a “-iphone”, “-ipad”, “-watch”, “-vision” or “-appletv” to the ID of the app. Example: 392502056-ipad.</p>
<p>By the way, the special feature is also available for the Windows Store: Here, too, only the mobile screenshots or those of the desktop version can be displayed. All you have to do is attach a “-mobile” or “-desktop” to the App-ID. Example: 392502056-mobile.</p>
